Product: Aspen Basic Engineering™
Process Safety is of vital importance as it helps prevent major disasters involving the consequences of releases of toxic, reactive, flammable or explosive chemicals. Pressurized equipment in a chemical plant must be protected against overpressure scenarios (e.g., fire emergencies, control valve failure, tube rupture of shell-and-tube heat exchangers, etc.) with pressure relief devices (PRDs). Furthermore, documentation needs to be prepared for all pressure safety valves (PSVs), rupture disks and storage tank vent valves, as it plays an important role in Process Safety Management.

Introduction to Aspen Batch APC™
Product: Aspen Batch APC™
Advanced Process Control has been a reality in the continuous process industry for over 25 years. However, the application of advanced control technologies to the Batch industry has been scattered and mostly concentrated on the batch monitoring. There are many challenges involved in controlling and optimizing a batch process such as nonlinear time-varying, quality variables available only after completion of batch and manipulated variables have very different effects at different times during the batch. In this context, there is an opportunity to better control product qualities at specified targets and optimize batch cycle times by implementing an advanced control strategy that can predict final product quality and optimize decision variables. This course is an introduction to Aspen Batch APC™ technology.
